Surveys

14.7K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Reliability and Validity

12.7K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Sputum Studies II: Culture and Sensitivity

270
Description
Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...

Naturalistic Observations

15.4K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • School Health Programs

Background:

  • Investigating the feasibility of COVID-19 testing in K-12 school settings.
  • Saliva-based testing was implemented across five schools to assess its practicality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To understand school staff perspectives on barriers and facilitators to saliva-based COVID-19 testing.
  • Gathering insights to improve the implementation of school-based testing programs.

Main Methods:

  • Semi-structured interviews conducted with 33 school staff members via Zoom.
  • Data analyzed using constant comparative analysis and emergent coding techniques.
  • Interviews were audio-recorded and auto-transcribed for detailed analysis.

Main Results:

  • Most staff reported positive experiences, noting testing was simple, quick, and organized.
  • Facilitators included consistent scheduling and open communication between staff.
  • Barriers identified were parental consent, pre-test restrictions (no eating/drinking), and difficulty producing sufficient saliva.

Conclusions:

  • Saliva-based testing is a feasible and efficient strategy for supporting school decisions on in-person learning versus closures.
  • This testing method can be valuable for future pandemics and in areas with outbreaks or low vaccination rates.
  • Recommendations for facilitation include streamlined consent, improved communication, and community outreach.
